ASU athletes offer ‘Wright to Dream’

<p>Forty ASU football student athletes will serve as the principle group of tutors for Cesar Chavez High School&#39;s &quot;Wright to Dream Literacy Camp&quot; on July 25-27 at Cesar Chavez High School. New Sun Devil Head Coach Dennis Erickson will be speaking to the students on the opening day of the program.</p><separator></separator><p>The tutoring program will provide one-on-one instruction to more than 700 incoming high school freshman students. The one-on-one instruction makes it possible to provide new pathways for learning that remove learning barriers.</p><separator></separator><p>&quot;Coach Erickson has encouraged his football team to participate in this program and take time out of their busy schedules to make a difference with youth making the transition to high school. By conducting this tutoring, his football team is doing its part to create a world where no one is left out,&quot; says Scott Gayman, principal of Cesar Chavez High School. &quot;We are excited to work with these football players. It is a great experience for our students.&quot;</p><separator></separator><p>The main sponsor, Toby Wright, is underwriting the majority of the cost of the program, which is being funded entirely by donations. Wright is a former strong safety for the University of Nebraska and the St. Louis Rams, where he spent nine seasons. Wright will also be a volunteer tutor at the program.</p><separator></separator><p>For more information on the &quot;Wright to Dream Literacy Camp&quot;, please contact Mr. Jean Boyd, Associate Athletic Director of Student-Athlete Development at (480) 965-0989 or log on to www.literacycamp.com.</p&gt;
